Hey KDT,

Is there anyway you can talk to the PCSbots to create your own RSS feed. I mean I like checking the rest of the site but between you and me… I don’t play video games or read superhero comics so a MangaRecon/Ninja Consultant at PCS Feed would be so much appreciated. It would spread like a disease, I know it would!

I’ll ask the Higher-Ups about getting a separate feed for the Manga Recon blog and the Manga Reviews.
